Estelle Ellis Rubinstein, a Pioneer at Seventeen, Dies at 92

Estelle Ellis Rubenstein

I get very moved by people who took personal and business chances long before it was commonplace, as it is today in the digital world. Today, pioneers are applauded whether they succeed or don’t quite make it. Back in the 1940s, it was rare to hear about people who were willing to make bold moves in their careers, especially women. 

The following story is about Estelle Ellis Rubenstein, a marketing pioneer at Seventeen Magazine. She died over a week ago at the age of 92. I started my career at Women’s Wear Daily in 1966. I know what it was like for women to exert themselves in those days, much less 20 years before. 

I just wanted to honor Estelle Ellis Rubenstein by placing her story in my blog. Women like her have been an inspiration my entire life.

  2. I usually do not drop a great deal of responses, however i did some
    searching and wound up here Estelle Ellis Rubinstein, a Pioneer at Seventeen,
    Dies at 92 | DigiDame. And I do have 2 questions for you if you usually do
    not mind. Is it just me or does it look like a few of these
    comments look like they are left by brain dead people?
    😛 And, if you are posting on other social sites,
    I’d like to follow anything new you have to post. Would you list of all of your communal sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

  3. I’m not sure exactly why but this website is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the
    problem still exists.

  5. Hi there! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established
    blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking
    about making my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any points or suggestions? Many thanks

  6. Hi would you mind letting me know which hosting company you’re working with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different web browsers and I must say this blog loads
    a lot quicker then most. Can you suggest a good hosting provider at a honest
    price? Many thanks, I appreciate it!
